What are the key experiences that have defined the traditional Seventh-day Adventist approach to hermeneutics? Veteran Seventh-day Adventist theologian and philosopher Edward W. H. Vick provides a brief answer to this question in this short book, with only 64 pages of text.

It’s difficult to be a pilgrim in a consumer world. A pilgrim is someone who looks more toward the destination than his present place. A consumer sets up shop as he secures more to consume, and invests his time, resources, and energy into guaranteeing there will always be more to consume. In Luke 17:33 Jesus says, “If you cling to your life, you will lose it, and if you let your life go, you will save it.” Finding our pilgrim path is the focus of this book to prepare the reader for the mission...

We are in the midst of a change that is larger than any of us can understand. The church of the 21st century is more like the church of the 1st century than that of the 20th century. Like then, we live in a world that is deeply divided, strongly segregated, with different parts of society not communicating with each other. Some are very passionate about their religion, willing to die or kill for it, for others religion is irrelevant. – Dr. David Moffett-Moore Jesus' Sermon on the Mount...

You've been a lectionary preacher throughout your ministry. You like the discipline of dealing with the scripture of the week rather than just grabbing something that is easy for you to handle. You're willing to preach on the hard stuff. But what about the rest of scripture, those passages that never appear in the weekly readings from the Revised Common Lectionary?

If the future generation of Christians has been fed on milk-soaked Twinkies, Assenting to the Eternal: Kingdom Exchanges Revealed is distinguished as free-range meat with a side of organic carrots and potatoes. It's health-food for the believer's spirit. It's oil for their long-enduring lamps and a blanket of comfort for the cold nights they lie waiting for their Bridegroom. Christ gave everything needed to overcome the world; not by taking us out of the world but by the...
